If you are making 250k a year regardless of how you make it you should be sitting pretty. If you aren't you are a fool. Another 1k in taxes isn't going to hurt you. We need to start paying our debts and the fortunate ones among us need to pay their fair share. The hardest working people I know are some of the most poorly paid. Next year we will pay around 450 Billion in interest without paying a dime on the debt before we even get to any spending that actually makes a difference to a US citizen. Further enriching the Chinese and our other debt holders including OPEC nations. We must get our deficit and off budget spending under control. Trickle down and tax cuts for the rich have been a massive failure. Don't blame the Dems, they haven't had any veto power in 8 years. Bush hasn't bothered to use his. Why? The decision to go to war and cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans at the same time spurred many of the problems we see today. It was a signal to the country and our financial institutions that fiscal responsibility was no longer of central importance.
